Righto boys, i went to one of the private dealer releases the other night so i should be able to help you out with any questions. I went last Thursday night so i should have everything correct, if you think i am wrong with something though then tell me as i got shocking memory lol.
The series 2, very nice car. Not really worth the upgrade from series 1. But if your in the market than definitely go the series 2 obviously.
New front bar, engine (E85), center console (very nice). The interior is the main change, the HIQ (i think thats what it was called) being the star. also the boot on the sedan has a little lip on it now.
The SV6 has the same seats as the SS, can't remember if the omega does or not. the omega comes with duel exhaust now too.
the new E85 is apparently a bit more torquey in low revs but not as quick in high revs. plus its cool the ECU reads what fuel you put in the car and re-programs the car to suit. even when u mix fuels.
also... they are the same price as the series 1 was.
The Redline package differs between the Ute and Sedan and has a special release price of $1,500 until January which it will then go up to $2,500. The Ute does not include FE3 Suspension.
Firstly the suspension, the FE3 DOES sit lower. 13mm lower according to them. Also is firmer.
Depending on if you like the rims or not should determine if you want the package. It is definitely not worth $2,500 in my opinion, brembo brakes on the front, FE3 suspension (sedan only) and forged 19" rims. although for $1,500 i would consider it i guess.
let me know if u have anymore questions.
i want a Hazard SSV with black stripes
my 2 cents on the holden lowering, they put my Pedders springs on so now my mind is at rest in regards to the warranty
